Chapter 12

I woke up with a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and concluded that today is going to be a horrible day.

First off, it’s Monday, cue the eye roll.

Second of all, I just got my monthly visitor which usually came with excruciating pain.

Honestly I’d be fine with a message that said, “You’re pregnant, see you next month” but Mother Nature obviously has other plans and has aadecided to find joy in causing us pain.

I reluctantly got up and waited for the pain to reduce before making my way to the bathroom.

I hated first days.

It took me about 30 minutes to finish my business because every time I felt a cramp, I sat down and waited for it to pass.

I walked out of the house closing the door behind me with a grateful sigh happy that I didn’t meet any of my family members this morning because of how awkward yesterday was.

After dropping my cousins and their parents at the airport yesterday morning, I had to go back with my parents and it was one of the most awkward rides of my entire life especially since my sister was there.

My parents tried making small talks but I wasn’t up for it so as soon as we got back home, I went back to bed considering we had to wake up extra early for them to catch their flight and it wasn’t like we even got any sleep the night before. I was sure Tiwa and her brother would sleep through half of the flight.

When I woke up later in the day, I spent most of my time finishing my homework and reading ahead just because. When I was done, I read the book Tiwa had told me about and actually enjoyed it.

I was snapped out of my thought by the honking of a car and I looked up to see Alex in my driveway with his signature smirk which made me roll my eyes at him and walk to the car.

“Long time no see princess.” He said as I got in and closed the door.

“You saw me on Saturday.” I told him before using my seatbelt and he in turn put the car in drive and started the journey to school.

“I know but I didn’t see you throughout yesterday which is a pretty long time to not bug you.” He said passing me a side glance.

“I’m glad that’s the only reason you wanted to see me.” I said rolling my eyes again before resting my head on the widow so the cramp could pass.

“Are you okay?” He asked and I turned to see a worried look on his face.

“I’m fine,” I said giving him a fake smile and from the look on his face, he could see through it, “Just drive Alex.” I said cutting short whatever he wanted to say.

The rest of the ride was spent in silence and I closed my eyes and silently wished there was a way I could remove my uterus and place it somewhere till all of this was over.

I could feel Alex’s gaze on me and I knew he badly wanted to say something but didn’t and I was glad.

As soon as we got to school, I got down from the car and walked straight to my locker ignoring everyone around me.

I just wanted to get the day over with and lie in my bed till my cramps stopped but apparently the world had other plans.

As I shoved my books into my locker, I felt a presence beside me and rolled my eyes at the person because as usual, her perfume always managed to announce her presence every freaking time and of course her ever present minions.

I closed my locker and gave her a bored look because I wasn’t even up to dealing with her.

“What do you want Barbie?” I muttered folding my hands and resting against the lockers like I didn’t have a care in the world which I didn’t actually.
